Media
White put out the first district-wide campaign ad for the U.S. House race in North Carolina's 7th Congressional District. In the ad, he argues that House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor have caved to President Obama in supporting an increase of the debt ceiling. Cantor supports former state Sen. David Rouzer, White's opponent in the primary election, for the Congressional election.[5]
